This page is about the menu SETTINGS -> ROOMS

Rooms can but do not need to represent physical rooms, they are a way of splitting your property into separately bookable sections.

If you renting your property as a whole you still need to define one room which in your case represents your complete property.

Additional rooms can be added in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES->ROOMS.

1 Rooms, room types and units

A room can either be an individual room with the quantity of 1 unit or a room type with multiple units. If the quantity is more than one unit the term room type is used.

By default units are numbered but you have the option to assign a specific name to each unit.

2 Dorms

Dorms are also rooms but they require a different set up than private rooms.

Cleaning and Housekeeping

In the CALENDAR you have the option to add a note to a unit or a status value. Preset unit status values can be defined in SETTINGS->ACCOUNT->PREFERENCES. Note that only the account owning a property can change the status. To use this feature SETTINGS->ACCOUNT->PREFERENCES "Calendar Style" should be set to "All Units". Only the account owning a property can change the status.

You can also add a note to store information for a room.

If you do not need the status selector your can hide it. Go to SUB ACCOUNTS (top right menu) click on "Manage Account" and enter calendar-unitstatus in the "Hide menu pages" field.

A report which includes the unit status is the "Daily Unit Activity Report". The "Daily Unit Notes" report also contains the notes. Both can be generated in REPORTS->STANDARD REPORTS.

If you want to automate the process you can set up an Auto Action which automatically changes the unit status when a guest arrives.
